Re: Gasket Removal Tricks
 

It is an aerosol. Nitrile gloves will protect your hands. These are
available in any paint store as they are the same gloves used with paint
stripper. The stuff does burn if you get it on your skin, so definitely wear
the gloves.

That sounds like contact cleaner, or Acetic Acid with Hexane polymers and Isopropanol.
(I miss 1-1-1 Trichloroethylene)

Standard contact cleaner works, but it's hell on paint and skin.

I prefer to use my brass scrapers and brush with a tiny bit of WD-40.
